End of The Law
The Law of Suspects fell into disuse by July 1794 with the end of the Terror - before Thermidorian Reaction - and direction was replaced by revolutionary surveillance committees (Comité de surveillance révolutionnaire) responsible for the practical exercise of repression, with oversight by district committees. The law was officially abolished in October 1795, immediately preceding the installation of the Directoire in November 1795.

Famous quotes containing the word law:
“My hope is ... that we may recover ... something of a renewal of that vision of the law with which men may be supposed to have started out with in the old days of the oracles, who communed with the intimations of divinity.”
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
